MADAME PATHS SEASON.

II is doubtful II there ever was a short season OF
entertainment in New-York that yielded SO mucn
none, to the star" and the managers as the patti
opera season which will close with performance OF

are likely to reach $4,000 1t is expected that the
attendance this afternoon will be larger than it
en- last Wednesday evening, when more mohey was
taken in than on any other evening Mr.. Abbey. II ID

It is encouraging to note the war which the
.;tv authorities are waging on small nuisanccs.
The Mayor has attacked street cleaning abuses
and street obstruction abuses, and promises
to attend to others when he gets time. We hope
he NAV soon reach the dog pound and abolish
1t. This nuisance is situated between the
Willard Parker Hospital and the Reception Hos
pita at the foot of East SiXtecnthst., and the
patients in these institutions suffer greatly
from its proximity. 1t ought to he put out OF
sight beyond smell and hearing. And while
The Mayor is at it, the dog -catchers themselves
should lie regulated into decency.
Although without patronage OF any KIND
there was no lack of interest on the part OF
Republicans in the primaries held last night IN
this CITY, In districts in which there were
contests, pretty full vote was polled and
there was a fair-sized vote in the unconteSted
districts. In the XVIth the opposition to
Michael Crcgan developed unexpected strength,
considering his long control of the district.
aIis ticket was successful 10y a majority OF
10 votes. There were also close contests In
the XIIIth and in some other districts, but no
bad feeling was displayed. The new County
Committee will be fairly representative BODY
and altogether the party in the city gives IN
Hicatons Of healthy growth.
The tornado which wrought death and
destruction near Nevada, Missouri. ON Mon
day evening, evidently belonged to
the brood of storms which broke
upon the Mississippi Valley and to
the eastward on that day. Another one OF
them was the severe hail storm in Mississippi,
md still another the thunder storm in the west
srn part of this State The disturbance neal
Nevada was the most severe. Several
lives were lost and much property was
damaged. 1t is pretty evident that TINS
Ia the kind of thing the jewellers in the
Mississippi Valley have to expect pretty
often. Up to this time the "cycone pit y
which some careful householders have
built has been considered in the light of joke
As q matter of fact there is nothing funny
about it. 1t is an excellent institution and ii
bound to come widely into use.

Habit has a great hold upon men. The
reserviste finds the supreme moment of
distress when he passes from civil to mill
tary life. The cut represents some reser-
vistes ut the feteful moment just previous
10 donning their uniforms. Having
dotted paletots and chapeaux, they see
themselves in the military caps and en-
folded in the vast capote Of the soldier.
All distinctions Of class indicated by the
details Of the toilet are effaced. There is
no more monsieur" no more patron, no
more workmen. All are sergeants, cor
porals or soldiers. The speech of the I'M
der officers is briefer and more imperious;
the faces OF tho men more reserved. Their
ears begin to grow accustomed to the
words 'cOnsignc, "salle de police"
The reservistes, while still in their civil
attire, at the clothing magazine, pass I'M
der the vigilant eye Of young officer,
whose appearance at once shows that he
belongs to the active part Of the military.
Within the great wardrobe room are
shelves filled with caps, trousers and all
the articles pertaining to soldiers toilet.
They are clothed piece by piece and taken
before the captain of the company, who
passes Judgment on them, for the regi-
ment must look its best in clothes as well
as muscle. Wido arm holes, comfortable
sleeves, immense shoes, caps which cover
the head and come down close to the ears
these are the dictates Of fashion in the
army just now. Meantime there are
some who have trouble getting anything
to cover them. Immense abdomens re-
fuse to hide themselves under any trou-
sers or coat to be found. The owners Of
these rotund forms are obliged to be left
in their civil clothes until the tailor OF
the regiment builds them garments which
will cover their massive proportions.
These, for eight days, are privileged char
acters. They so about and enjoy them
selves in the quarters, free from exercise.
At last it is all done The clothes Of
the bourgeois, folded and bearing the
names of their owners. are put away.
They go to drill feeling awkward in the
unaccustomed clothing. In few days
all this Is effaced, and they almost forget
that they ever wore anything but military
forgery. After month when the colonel
reviews them, he can honestly felicitate
them ON their rapid military acquire.

COURSE OF VOLUNTEER IN TRIAL RACES.
she will carry on the day of the great race,
with the exception of her new mainsail,
which is n tr1e lighter and larger than
her old one. 1t is safe to predict that she
will not greatly exceed her performance of
that day when she sails against the THIS
tie. The friends of the Thistle declare, in
cxcusing her work, that she was not
In racing trim. Her bottom was not
clean, she towed dingy nstern and she
carried two more boats in her davits. In
addition to this, the Thistle carried a
smaller jib than she usually does in such
weather, and a man who was Oh board Of
her at the time asserts that she was him
dcred very much by the boats that hung
in her davits.
A gentleman, WHO is yachting editor Of
prominent Scotch journal, writes to The
New York World q lengthy letter in which
he says that in his twenty years yachting
experience he has never seen any vessel
burst so much broken water as the Volun-
teer did on the day of the trial race. He
even goes so far as to say that the Anchor
line steamship in which he crossed the
Atlantic did not make such q row even
in gallo Of wind. This seems to be
putting the case rather strongly ia view
of the fact that the clean wake of the
Volunteer has been expatiated on ever
since she has been launched. He declares
Furthermore that the Thistle is no
American invention, but Is the
outcome Of the latest revision Of
the British yacht racing rule of
measurement Mr.. Watson, the de-
signer, has, he says, designed q new type
Of British yacht, and by fortunate guess
work has hit off a fast boat. The interest
ing fact remains, however. that the Thistle
closely resembles American models.

There never has been such heated dis
cussion over the comparative merits.o Of
two yachts as the debates now going on
in New York and other yachting centers
over the merits Of the Thistle and the
Volunteer. The performance of the
Thistle in the trial race which took place
recently between the Volunteer and the
Mayflower, and which efectually decided
the superiority of the Volunteer, has
called forth opinions Of every shade.
There can be no question that Volunteer
stock has gone up considerably since the
trial race, but the fact that On that occa-
sion the Boston boat beat the Thistle
should not furnish any reasonable grounds
for supposing that the Volunteer is the
better boat, but at the same time the fact
that the Volunteer did beat the Thistle,
no matter what the circumstances were,
seems to have greatly stimulated conf
dence in the former boat. To sum up the
whole matter, the facts seem to be as fol-
lows:
On the day of the trial rcces the Volun-
teer beat the Thistle one minute and fifty
nine seconds In nine mile race. On that
day the Volunteer was in racing trim and
carried the same sail measurement that
